Helen, Paphs are sympodial so what you are probably seeing is the start of it's new growth for this year. Don't remove it. They aren't separate plants. When the plant gets larger with lots of fans you can divide it. Rule of thumb is 3-4 fans per division.
PS I love sukhakulii. Beautiful flower and it stays somewhat compact.
